I made a horror game, making the settings menu was pretty challenging but that is the part I am most proud of too. One thing people should know is that the gameplay is far from comeplete, and the whole settings menu works. controls arent changeabe btw....

New Game Alert 🚨!! This new game Is inspired from the 3D game “A game about digging a hole” but I’m making it 2D with all my own sprites and scripts and I started with the Hut/House where you go upgrade your digging tool, e.t.c. Keep in mind this is my very first time creating a Sprite, Hope you guys like it!
In this session I started making the core game concept in unity and used the tile system for the first time as this is my first ever 2D game!! I added the most important C# scripts in the game, the movement script and the tile remover script as this is a digging game. Next up, I’m gonna focus a bit on aesthetics and then back to coding.
Made the Ground tiles, with alot of iteration because the pixels looked too small in unity. I made separate tilemaps for each layer and added the ground layer to the digging script of the player which is still a basic capsule (Will work on making it a sprite soon). I have to now make ores and make them a separate special tile map which when dug up are counted so they can be used to be sold in the shop that I will make.
I made a new house because I don’t think the old one fit the theme, I think this looks way cleaner, I also changed the colours of the cobblestone floor to match the ew house’s stone colour. This session was very aesthetic based and I think that is gonna be the theme for the starting few devlogs. The dirt and grass look weird to me now, do you guys think it’s weird too?
Created a script for changing gravity between tiles as I want the player to move freely in the cobble area as it is the base area ‘home camp” If you will and whenever the player goes to dig a block of dirt the gravity changes so that the player falls in the hole they dug. I also messed around with the lighting setting and changes the background colour, It’s not the final colour yet. This session was more about game mechanics than art.
Added a whole jump feature in the game after a lot of iterations because I am still new to coding and C# but after everything worked, I decided to remove the whole feature because I want a jetpack which you can upgrade using coins by digging up minerals. So now when you press Spacebar it feels like you are using a very slow jetpack.
Added an Upgrades Canavs UI with two options for now, Shovel and Jetpack upgrades, I’m yet to make the buttons for them. Also made a script so that this Canvas only pops up when you are in contact with the house. The house now serves a functional purpose!! made the shovel and jetpack pixel art myself and I think they look quite good.
Made the player sprite finally, I still don’t like it that much but it is a start! I also tweaked the upgrades Canvas a bit. I’m a bit roadblocked for the scripts of the upgrades but I hope I can do that.
Changed the tile set again because I wasn’t fond of em, if I want to make a good game I need to pay attention to every detail. Also changed the background, I’m gonna make it better soon! I want the game to have a summer vibe, that’s why I changed everything except the house. The house is cool :D
The player sprite is finally a normal player!! Now all the rigid body, collider and scripts are on this new player. Some minor adjustments were also made to the cobble floor. Now I have to make the game actually fun to play and the background look cool aswell. What would you like to see in this game? It is a digging game.
Learned animation for the first time in unity! And it takes a whole lot of time when you are making all the animation sprites yourself. Added the idle animation and movement animation as of now. I added the movement animation code to the PlayerMovements script so that it only appears when you are moving left or right.
Working on the Upgrades menu at the moment. Also now when you move left the player actually changes direction which is cool and I adjusted the animations and speed of them a bit. I really want this game to feel good and look good as presentation and gameplay both matter alot. Currently I’m not really happy with the Upgrades Menu so, I’m gonna try make it way better.
New Upgrades Menu!!! I like this design way better, still need to add actual buttons and functionality into this but now I feel better about the game. Hopefully you all like it aswell!
Still upgrading the Upgrades Menu. Added a new Font, Spaces between how many times you can upgrade the item and a money “button” next to it to buy the upgrade. Still not functional as I haven’t opened VisualStudio Code yet, I’m not the best with code so I thought getting the visuals down first would be a good idea. Do you guys like it??
I think the Upgrades Menu is now aesthetically complete with all the essential items I want upgraded for the game and I like the colour combination and layout of it aswell. I’m quite happy with it now, but I’m always open to suggestions! Now time to finally make it functional.
New Sky!! The sky has a Sun and plenty of clouds to make the game look and feel nice to play. Also worked in the Upgrades Menu a bit to make the buttons working, still working on that. Hopefully its not that hard.
Added the Shovel item finally took way too long for this to finally come even though it’s a digging game. Now when the player is near the dirt/undergroundtiles a shovel item pops up in the hand of the player and when you click the tile you want to dig a nice little animation plays of the player digging the tile!! (Getting this animation to work was very stressful at one point it broke my movements script somehow, but all is well that ends well)
The upgrade button for the Shovel works now!! It has 4 upgrades and the tile dig size increases on each upgrade. Also made the player flip alongside its animation if they dig a tile which is on their opposite side which is pretty cool to me. There is new grass on the intersection of the cobble floor and ground tiles. The game is pretty fun to play if you just like to dig dirt, I know that sounds weird but just getting a rid of an area and upgrading your shovel is pretty fun in itself.
Coal Mineral is now in the game. Made three different sprite styles of the coal so it doesn’t look repititive I know the placement of coal looks a bit cluttered right now. I’m still experimenting with them. I’m currently going to be working on the script to count how many coal ‘tiles’ have been dug up so you can sell em in the shop. Hope you like this!
The Shop is now in the game!!! and it is fully functional. Now when you mine a coal tile the newly added GameManager tracks it and updates your total coal count which then you can sell to get 10M per Coal and upgrade your shovel. First upgrade costs 50M and the upgrade button works aswell, first upgrade increases the dig size from 1x1 –> 2x2. Now the game is an actually playable game where your objective could be to get rid of a whole area and make it easier for your self by getting upgrades. But that is not the game I’m making, I’ll make it a bit more fun than that. Your Goal will be to dig to the bottom to find Secret Treasure…more on that later!!
New Sky in the game now!! Still trying to add more things to it so stay tuned for that. Also fixed a major bug in the upgrades digging script for the shovel as it would only dig up one block instead of four if it is upgraded because it only detected tiles to the right of it and if they were already dug up it would appear as though the upgrade didn’t work and only one block has been dug.
Still working on the sky, mainly the bottom terrain now. And also adjusting alot of tiles in unity. I also made the camera boundary (the place where the camera stops following the player) a bit smaller because I don’t think I wanna make that big of a game. This is supposed to be a fun game which you can come back to and have a mission to complete.
There is an upgradable jetpack feature in the game now!! Which was an extremely hard job to pull off because the initial version of it had a million bugs. Because I want there to be zero gravity on the cobble tiles so it is like the base platform and the jetpack doesn’t work there and when the player gets near the ground/dirt tiles gravity should apply so the player falls downwards after digging but when any up keys (up arrow, W key or Spacebar) are pressed it should drop back to zero gravity so the player can use the jetpack to go back up to the “home” cobble tiles. This took so long to make it usable and I’m quite happy with it. Just have to make the actual jetpack item now.
The jetpack function now has an animation whenever you are using it. Fully upgradable through the shop. Though it doesn’t have separate animations for the jetpack yet. I am trying to leave the less important artwork towards the end of the project now so then I’ll only work on aesthetic like background and polishing sprites for in game animation.
There is a battery feature now in the game and when you are using the jetpack for too long your battery runs out and you “die” which means you lose all the minerals that were in your inventory but your coins balance remains the same. The Battery is also upgradable in the shop with your coins. A battery ui bar will come soon…
The Battery feature now has a UI display to visualise how much battery you have left. It is present at the bottom left of the game screen and it is upgradable in the shop as well just like before. Very Fun!! No I think I’ll work on the inventory feature to set a limit to it and then make that upgradable aswell!!
Alot has happened since the last devlog… The upgrades screen now tells you what happens when you upgrade an item to its next form. This took alot of time to figure out the code for but in the end it worked out! :D The Battery drainage icon has been slightly updated and now when you upgrade the battery feature the battery refills to full battery and the inventory now has a “full inventory” pop up screen whenever you mine a mineral and your inventory is already full so it doesn’t count that mineral so it is basically destroyed. Worked on art aswell for the background which I’m still not happy about but at least the upgrades section is complete for the first ship!!
Created a Battery Refill button so that you can refill your battery bar when you are running low on it. It is “15M” right now which Is half the price of the first upgrade so you have to contemplate if you wanna dig more for the upgrade or just keep refilling the battery. Also working on a new mineral for the game, the iron tile.
Added the Iron tile!!! I know it doesn’t look the best but I think you can cut me some slack as this is still my first 2D Game. the iron tile is worth “15M” coins so you can use it to refill your battery or save up more to consume the coins in the upgrades section. The sell button sells all the minerals (coal and iron) together. Now you can upgrade everything quicker!! yayayayay. What should I add next? Secret dungeon fight under the Iron ores? Sound fx? more Ores? Better Sky? Interactive starting tutorial? Starting Lore Animation?
Working on the background art of the game, added some trees which took ages to make them look good. I hope they are unto the standard of the game theme.
Alot of stuff happened in this session; I went back and forth on the background alot and settled on this new background with some trees and bushes with no secondary sky colour behind it, I play tested the game to see that all the code is running smoothly, made some bullet points for what I want to add before the first ship and now I’m currently working on an Interactive starting tutorial for the game.
In this session I completed making the interactive tutorial for the starting of the game. It tells you how to move, dig up dirt, collect coal, and use the shop to sell minerals and buy upgrades. Also created the Title Screen for the game.
We are so back!! The Title Screen went through some changes but it is this newish display now. Major thing this session is that I added sound effects!! I had never added sound effects to a game before so this was a huge learning curve especially with linking the sound to the animation and stuff. Also finding a sound you like is very time consuming. I think I’m very close to shipping the firs version of the game. I don’t think I’ll be able to complete this game for Stardance because I have the SAT exam soon so yeah… I hope you guys will still like the completist version of this.
Completed adding all the sound effects and running them through code. Also made changes to the colour and positioning of the tutorial text. Now when you dig a tile the background colour is no longer the sky colour it is a solid dark grey so you can distinguish between the dug up area and undug area easily. Also added a story scene so you know what the goal is in the game. The First Version of the game is complete now. I just need to create a readme file and Build the game so that it can uploaded online! See you soon :)
Added the Readme.md file in the game’s repository and did some final changes including an hour long hunt on why the sounds weren’t working in the itch.io page when publishing the game, that is fixed now. The game is ready to be shipped!! (This is the first version of course)
Ships:
This Is the first ever 2D Game I made, a digging game where the player’s objective is to dig to the bottom of the world. There is an inbuilt starting Tutorial in the game which explains the basics of it. There is a battery feature for the jetpack which helps you to come up to the base which is the cobble floor, if the battery is completely depleted you die and all the minerals in your inventory get destroyed. Currently the game only goes till the iron mineral layer and after that it is empty so that I can expand on it in the next ship of this game. (This is only the first version and it is not fully complete yet) Have fun playing it!!...

Title: Discord Organization Bot by @karoltoo11 | S Title: Discord Organization Bot by @karoltoo11 | Stardance
Devlogs:
Hi! I’m working on a project that could be really useful for managing larger Discord servers. Personally, I’ve always struggled with organizing events and giveaways (like for specific roles), as well as setting up channels for things like “looking for a game”. Since I have some experience with Discord bot development, I decided to solve all these issues with a single bot—after all, having 30 different bots on a server doesn’t look very good. So far, I’ve added features for: Organizing giveaways. Organizing events. Both features are easy to configure and come with all the useful options you’d expect. Additionally, if you sign up for an event, the bot sends you a DM when it’s about to start to let you know it’s kicking off. (Since English isn’t my native language, I used Google Translate for the message.)
Hi! I’ve added a “trap channel” to catch bots that spam invites to their own servers or other scam links. Simply run the /trap set command in the designated channel, and it becomes active immediately. Sending a message results in an automatic kick and the deletion of the message.
Hi! I’ve added all of options that I wanted. I mean: Fully functional “Looking for Group/Game” -> You can create post with fully interactable buttons etc. Personal Reminders -> You really don’t want to forget about your daily strike at stardance! To-do List -> For adminstration and smaller server groups.
Ships:
Hi <3 I made a usefull discord bot that will really help you with building a discord community. I’d have a lot of fun while doing It. It is my first that big project, especially in java script. This language after a bit of time is really enjoyable. I hope that I created a really good thing!...

The xp required to level up increases exponentially as the current level gets higher and higher. Unlocks in the tree save to a file and read back on load, so progress is maintained.

A terminal, of course ! And what is a UNIX-themed game without a terminal? So I added a system where game events, such as waves starting, or enemies being killed, are logged to a terminal window at the bottom of the screen.

The spray of particles from enemies when they die is one of my personal favourite effects in this game, mostly because of what I’ve learnt from it.

First devlog for Kernel Panic , a tower defence game built in Godot. Here is my progress so far: A menu which allows the user to select levels Multiple custom resources to allow for: Flexible enemy counts and spawn rates during waves Changing of range, damage, or attack speed of a tower Creation of ‘upgrade paths’, which store several upgrades, as well as progress along the path Inspection window that allows: Customisable targeting priority Upgrades to be applied from multiple upgrade paths Multiple towers with several unique upgrade paths each Next step - building a tutorial level that explains the key mechanics of the game.
Added a resource to allow upgrades to towers. For those who haven’t used Godot, a resource is a fancy name for a data container that counts the number of other objects referencing it and automatically frees itself when it is no longer needed. According to a quick glance at the Godot docs, creating a custom Resource is as simple as creating a new script that extends Resource and adding a couple of @export variables. I failed at step one, used the default ‘ extend Node ’ instead of ‘ extend Resource ’, and then spent over half an hour trying to work out why it didn’t show up in the inspector. Lesson learned then? Not really, because I did the exact same thing again the next day.
Made a dictionary of wave information resources in the level . I exported a dictionary of custom WaveInfo resources in my level scene, and went to add a new resource to the dictionary. I typed in the key, added a new WaveInfo, and clicked Ctrl+s. My new key-value pair promptly vanished without a trace And so began the hour of removing variables, re-adding variables, trawling through the Godot forums and generally wanting to set fire to my computer to try to find the problem.

Ships:
I made my first ever hardware project, a Hackpad. It has: 6 keys, 1 rotary encoder, 1 OLED display It was quite challenging overall, but the hardest part was making the case. I could not understand how to make one in Fusion so I just went with a simple base, leaving everything open, which I think has some cool look. Also, the soldering wasn’t that easy, maybe it was because of the materials I had but I quite struggled getting the first components soldered....

Pass n’ Play is a website that serves as a party game hub for all ages in which a group can play 4 unique social deduction games by passing a single device around the table. The site is inspired by a neo-brutalist design, caters towards mobile devices, and is meant to look more like an app than a standard website. What are you proud of? I am most proud of the third game I made, Signal Jam. It has the most unique features out of all 4 games and really pushed me to finalize my aesthetic of my website. It was also the game I had most fun with when play-testing with my family. Furthermore it was not a game I had drafted in my prior failed attempt of this project so I had no codebase to fall back on. What was challenging? I was shocked by how long it took me to formulate a design style for the website that consistently looks well formatted and neat. Creating this neo-brutalist inspired style was much harder than expected and I feel as though a few pages could still use some improvement. Feedback on the design and game flow of the website would be greatly appreciated by reviewers. Another thing that took most of my brainpower was figuring out the JavaScript. Unlike my CSS, it had no globalized file. Reviewers, if you are reading this, please let me know if there are better programming languages, libraries or software that are more appropriate for making a project like this. I would love to further improve my programming skills and spend less time correcting mistakes due to my inefficiencies. What should people know so you can test your project? This is a purely frontend website, so just click the “Try Project” button to explore the site. I would recommend trying to playtest a game with nearby friends or relatives if possible. If you want a quick overview of my development process, just read the initial section and bolded text of the longer devlogs. They kinda serve as a TL;DR of the project’s progress.", "repo": "https://github.com/ReuTheCoder/pass-n-play", "demo": "https://reuthecoder.github.io/pass-n-play/"}]...

I think this project is ready to ship; each game is fully playable and I think now is a good time where feedback can help me greatly improve each game so it provides the best experience possible! Completed Work: Parties With a lot of assistance from AI (when figuring out how to properly get my localStorage function working), I have incorporated a new “Party” system into each game! It allows a group to save all of their names as a “Party” to their device so that they can quickly fill in every player’s name upon loading a new game. The new system supports up to 8 parties, which can each be given a unique name. Aside from making it easier to switch games, because of its localStorage usage, if the same group of friends regularly use my website, they can skip the step of inputting their names every time they decide to play. This idea was inspired by a similar feature I saw on an app (I can’t find its name) that was very similar to Imposter Who . Right now, the system is built into each game’s game setup screen, but I am considering moving it to the home screen so that each game screen is a bit more clean. If you are a reviewer reading this, let me know if the “Party” system gets in the way. Completed Work: Round Timer I also added the option for a round timer to the Imposter game. It was relatively simple as I just had to move around the timer code I used for Signal Jam. The CSS was moved to my global CSS file and I copied over and adjusted the HTML and JS. While I was at it, I made a few more polishes, such as adding a custom designed scroll bar . Next Steps: I am going to ship the project today. I already have my README drafted, I just need to make a few edits. I am not done with this project. I’m going to wait and see what feedback I get, but some plans I have for the future are making a globalized JavaScript file, adding a custom word/prompt bank feature to most games, adding more prompts to each game, adding more party games that can be played on one screen and adding a filter and sort system to the homepage. Thanks for reading!"}, {"post_id": 74701, "ts": "2026-09-28T01:09:48Z", "hours": 7.2839, "text": "Devlog #08 Development has really slowed down now that I am entering the thick of it at school. Regardless, over the past two weekends, I finished Signal Jam and started the fourth (and final) game before shipping, The Outsider! Completed Work: Signal Jam Finishing this up was quick and smooth. I don’t remember exactly how long it took, but it was fast enough that I decided to wait until completing the idea I had sitting in the back of my mind (The Outsider) before posting another devlog. I reused the Results screen code from the previous games, tweaked the content to be specific to the game, and added a few extra if statements since this game has more win conditions. After playtesting, I made some small polish changes and committed everything. Completed Work: The Outsider This game’s flow was inspired by Chameleon. I went in expecting it to make a quick reskin of Imposter with a new word grid feature, but building that grid took more time than planned. Getting the grid to look good on both mobile and desktop was tricky. I eventually decided to lock mobile players into landscape mode so the grid would have more space and be easier to see when everyone’s looking at the same screen. Then, I had to figure out wrapping and line break issues to ensure the words were consistently displayed neatly. One technical highlight I would like to share is that, originally, I thought about storing the selected word index using a data-selected-index attribute on the grid container, but since attributes only store strings, handling 0 (the first cell index) would have required extra checks to avoid false negatives. Instead, I used a closure variable ( selectedIndex ) inside the function that built the word grid. This clean solution enables it to reset automatically each time the grid renders, which also clears the previous selection. Next Steps: The project is basically ready to ship! I’ll make one more devlog to add some localStorage features and wrap things up before release. Thanks for reading!"}, {"post_id": 67455, "ts": "2026-09-13T15:45:07Z", "hours": 9.9003, "text": "Devlog #07 The CSS Revamp is complete and the third game for Pass n’ Play is in development. After this devlog, I’m going to make sure I post more frequent devlogs. I keep procrastinating… Completed Work: Finished Polishing Website After the last devlog, I spent 4 more hours finishing up the CSS and the Imposter Game. The second installment to Pass n’ Play is now fully functional, with 156 different words to play with. It is also fully polished to a level I am ready to present, both in game flow and aesthetics. I think one thing that made this process longer than I had initially thought it would be is the fact many minute details needed adjustments throughout all my code. Since I had copied over the secret saboteur code for the imposter game before changing up the UI, I had to ensure I properly transferred the new style changes I made to the HTML and JS of the imposter game (since only my css is globalized). I finally think I have locked in the style that I would like to use for this website and that my code is a lot more organized than before. This should hopefully make development quicker in the future. Completed Work: New Game Also continuing from my last devlog, I have begun working on the third party game for Pass n’ Play: Signal Jam. Its fundamental gameplay is similar to the classic 20 Questions, however it has specialized roles which I believe create interesting dynamics and increase the fun. The game flow was inspired by another party game called Werewords. So far I have my game information, game setup, main discussion and voting screens done. It currently has 75 unique words as game prompts. I’m finding it a bit hard to add additional insightful details because I am basically repeating the process I had to make the Imposter. So, I’m going to describe how I have refined my process to work a bit faster than with the Imposter game. I first made the Game Information page so I have all the rules established. Each game is its own file that keeps all files specific to the game within it. So in order to write the game information I copied the Secret Saboteur info.html and edited the content to explain the rules for Signal Jam. This page has no JavaScript and was already linked to my generalized info.css file, so I did not have to do anything else. After that, I started building the game in sections, starting with all the code I would need up to the discussion screen. For the HTML, I would copy over individual blocks of code I knew I could reuse (often editing them to fit the language of the new game), note what new components I needed, and research how I could add it to the game. For instance, this game has a round timer, which no other game had, so I had to add a few new HTML and JS elements. Also, to keep things organized, instead of adding more stuff to the main game.css file, I used a separate style.css page. Once everything was polished to a level I was happy with, I started on the next chunk of my game. I continued this process until the game was completed. This was much better than what I did before for the Imposter game where I basically duplicated all the code for Secret Saboteur and then scoured through it to see what I needed to change and remove. Next Steps: I primarily need to complete the game (which is almost done, I just need to make the Results Screen!) Afterwards, I want to add a custom word bank feature to the game that saves with localStorage and an option to add a round timer to the discussion screen. Finally, I got to think of one more game to add before I ship.

I honestly then procrastinated on working on this again once I realized I had to readjust and familiarize myself to the inner workings of my old code. It was definitely more disorganised than I had remembered leaving it. When I did eventually start, school was also beginning, so I have only been able to work on it in small intervals throughout the week. This slow development, combined with the roadblocks I stumbled upon (as described below) made the past 10 hours of development time come quite unexpectedly. Completed Work: Imposter Game Functionality As I said in the last devlog, I would begin to work on my second game: Imposter. I got the HTML done relatively quickly. I would say about half of my time was spent finishing the game logic for my Imposter game, which is now fully functional. It honestly took longer than I thought because my code for Secret Saboteur did not translate as smoothly as I thought it would to the imposter game. Directly copy-pasting the Secret Saboteur code for the Imposter game led to a few errors, and I spent a lot of time combing through the imposter code to figure out what needed to be changed or removed from the secret saboteur code. I definitely need to figure out a better approach for adding new games. Fortunately, I have been able to implement Secret Sabouter’s CSS without many issues. Completed Work: Design Revamp As I was working on Imposter, I had been brainstorming ways to improve the UI and had settled on a few ideas. So before polishing the CSS for the Imposter game, I decided to revamp and finalize the UI for the secret saboteur game. With my old design, I felt as though everything was competing for attention. I think I used the card style way too often, which did not bring much diversity to the design and made organization a bit fuzzy. With my new design changes, I believe my design now has more breathing room and utilizes each game’s accent colors more directly. I also tried to make my shadow sizes, border radii and spacing a bit more consistent. Instead of using emojis, I have been trying to complete SVG icons. I sourced them from Lucide’s Lucide and Bootstrap’s icon libraries. This definitely took up most of my time. Completing this took a lot longer than I was expecting. I think one reason time flew by so quickly is because when I first tried to change up my design, I messed up a lot of things. Midway through the process, I was questioning if doing this was a mistake, because I had ruined the look of Secret Saboteur and caused its game flow to stop working due to inconsistently changing a few class names. If I had to do this again, I would take note of exactly what I changed so I can easily work through errors and debugging. I also found that as I was redoing my design, I ended up cleaning up a bit of my Javascript and CSS in the process. There was quite a bit of code from abandoned ideas still hanging around. Next Steps: I would not say the Imposter Game or the design changes are completely done. Those 10 hours snuck up on me; I think I need to spend a bit more time getting each of my games the level of polish I would like. However, I don;t think it will take too long, as I am really close to finishing this “polishing” process. After that, I’m going to try and add two more games before making my first ship. You’ll have to wait until the next devlog to see what party game I add next. By the way, feel free to suggest any games and I’ll try to see if I can add them.

The core functionality was finished shortly after posting the last devlog (about 3.5 hours of coding in), but the real work happened afterward. In order to make the game feel more polished and actually part of the Pass n’ Play design system I had to tighten the layout, fix hierarchy inconsistencies, and clean up the UI. Completed Work: Javascript Right after posting the last devlog, I realized I had completely forgotten to implement the Guesser role. Once I added it, I noticed I had accidentally configured the game so the first player always became the guesser. This meant rewriting a section of my assignRoles() function so roles actually randomize correctly. After that, I finished the Javascript for both the guessing screen and the results screen. The biggest friction point was the saboteur button layout. I originally formatted them in a column, but switching to rows made the spacing and logic behave properly. The longest debugging issue came from something small. I had removed a header from the info popup in my HTML, but forgot to delete the Javascript function that controlled it. This “ghost” function caused a whole section of my script to stop working, and I kept thinking I had broken other functions. Once I finally noticed and removed the unused function, everything went back to normal. Completed Work: CSS Once the game was functional, I felt the CSS still looked unpolished. The text inside <main> did not feel like part of the same physical UI system as the buttons and headers. I rebuilt these text blocks into proper card badges so they look like real components instead of raw HTML. I also inverted the text hierarchy for the game header, removed redundant labels, and cleaned up the popup by removing the extra close anchor and header (which caused the Javascript issue mentioned earlier). I also spent time making sure the design would translate well to mobile. With some research and AI help (which only confirmed formatting issues and did not write code), I updated my layout so everything uses a unified 600px max‑width. This prevents the header from overflowing on smaller screens and makes the whole app feel like a cohesive handheld interface. The button grids now collapse into balanced two‑column stacks on narrow displays. While doing this, I adjusted a few element styles, reorganized the setup elements into a clean vertical column grid, and grouped Play Again and New Game into a structural wrapper so their spacing is predictable. Overall, making the spacing and alignment more intentional helped the entire interface feel more cohesive. Next Steps I am now starting work on Pass n’ Play’s second game: Imposter, based on the “Imposter Who?” party game that was popular earlier this year. I am also still unhappy with how the Game Setup screen looks, so I will probably adjust it soon. Any advice on improving the design would be greatly appreciated.

I should also note I used AI for some tedious tasks, like checking the game’s 105 discussion prompts (most of which I derived from the oold game version) for duplicates or adjusting ones that weren’t broad enough for a general audience. Completing CSS Even though I started with JavaScript, I eventually drifted into CSS (partly because I wanted a break, and partly because I wasn’t sure how clean my HTML structure was). I swapped back and forth between working on JS and CSS until I accidentally completed most of the styling. Implementing the CSS helped me see where I needed more classes or where the markup was missing hooks for interactivity. For instance, writing the CSS made it easy to envision and test how the progression button would look when disabled or enabled (depending on if all the required information on the game setup screen was complete).

Devlog #06 It certainly has been a while since my last devlog! I paused development for a few weeks in order to finish another website idea I had been working on.

Devlog #07 The CSS Revamp is complete and the third game for Pass n’ Play is in development. After this devlog, I’m going to make sure I post more frequent devlogs. I keep procrastinating… Completed Work: Finished Polishing Website After the last devlog, I spent 4 more hours finishing up the CSS and the Imposter Game. The second installment to Pass n’ Play is now fully functional, with 156 different words to play with. It is also fully polished to a level I am ready to present, both in game flow and aesthetics. I think one thing that made this process longer than I had initially thought it would be is the fact many minute details needed adjustments throughout all my code. Since I had copied over the secret saboteur code for the imposter game before changing up the UI, I had to ensure I properly transferred the new style changes I made to the HTML and JS of the imposter game (since only my css is globalized). I finally think I have locked in the style that I would like to use for this website and that my code is a lot more organized than before. This should hopefully make development quicker in the future. Completed Work: New Game Also continuing from my last devlog, I have begun working on the third party game for Pass n’ Play: Signal Jam. Its fundamental gameplay is similar to the classic 20 Questions, however it has specialized roles which I believe create interesting dynamics and increase the fun. The game flow was inspired by another party game called Werewords. So far I have my game information, game setup, main discussion and voting screens done. It currently has 75 unique words as game prompts. I’m finding it a bit hard to add additional insightful details because I am basically repeating the process I had to make the Imposter. So, I’m going to describe how I have refined my process to work a bit faster than with the Imposter game. I first made the Game Information page so I have all the rules established. Each game is its own file that keeps all files specific to the game within it. So in order to write the game information I copied the Secret Saboteur info.html and edited the content to explain the rules for Signal Jam. This page has no JavaScript and was already linked to my generalized info.css file, so I did not have to do anything else. After that, I started building the game in sections, starting with all the code I would need up to the discussion screen. For the HTML, I would copy over individual blocks of code I knew I could reuse (often editing them to fit the language of the new game), note what new components I needed, and research how I could add it to the game. For instance, this game has a round timer, which no other game had, so I had to add a few new HTML and JS elements. Also, to keep things organized, instead of adding more stuff to the main game.css file, I used a separate style.css page. Once everything was polished to a level I was happy with, I started on the next chunk of my game. I continued this process until the game was completed. This was much better than what I did before for the Imposter game where I basically duplicated all the code for Secret Saboteur and then scoured through it to see what I needed to change and remove. Next Steps: I primarily need to complete the game (which is almost done, I just need to make the Results Screen!) Afterwards, I want to add a custom word bank feature to the game that saves with localStorage and an option to add a round timer to the discussion screen. Finally, I got to think of one more game to add before I ship. Thanks for reading!
Devlog #08 Development has really slowed down now that I am entering the thick of it at school. Regardless, over the past two weekends, I finished Signal Jam and started the fourth (and final) game before shipping, The Outsider! Completed Work: Signal Jam Finishing this up was quick and smooth. I don’t remember exactly how long it took, but it was fast enough that I decided to wait until completing the idea I had sitting in the back of my mind (The Outsider) before posting another devlog. I reused the Results screen code from the previous games, tweaked the content to be specific to the game, and added a few extra if statements since this game has more win conditions. After playtesting, I made some small polish changes and committed everything. Completed Work: The Outsider This game’s flow was inspired by Chameleon. I went in expecting it to make a quick reskin of Imposter with a new word grid feature, but building that grid took more time than planned. Getting the grid to look good on both mobile and desktop was tricky. I eventually decided to lock mobile players into landscape mode so the grid would have more space and be easier to see when everyone’s looking at the same screen. Then, I had to figure out wrapping and line break issues to ensure the words were consistently displayed neatly. One technical highlight I would like to share is that, originally, I thought about storing the selected word index using a data-selected-index attribute on the grid container, but since attributes only store strings, handling 0 (the first cell index) would have required extra checks to avoid false negatives. Instead, I used a closure variable ( selectedIndex ) inside the function that built the word grid. This clean solution enables it to reset automatically each time the grid renders, which also clears the previous selection. Next Steps: The project is basically ready to ship! I’ll make one more devlog to add some localStorage features and wrap things up before release. Thanks for reading!
Devlog #09 I got some spare time to work today, so I thought I would add a few tiny features to elevate the Pass n’ Play experience. I think this project is ready to ship; each game is fully playable and I think now is a good time where feedback can help me greatly improve each game so it provides the best experience possible! Completed Work: Parties With a lot of assistance from AI (when figuring out how to properly get my localStorage function working), I have incorporated a new “Party” system into each game! It allows a group to save all of their names as a “Party” to their device so that they can quickly fill in every player’s name upon loading a new game. The new system supports up to 8 parties, which can each be given a unique name. Aside from making it easier to switch games, because of its localStorage usage, if the same group of friends regularly use my website, they can skip the step of inputting their names every time they decide to play. This idea was inspired by a similar feature I saw on an app (I can’t find its name) that was very similar to Imposter Who . Right now, the system is built into each game’s game setup screen, but I am considering moving it to the home screen so that each game screen is a bit more clean. If you are a reviewer reading this, let me know if the “Party” system gets in the way. Completed Work: Round Timer I also added the option for a round timer to the Imposter game. It was relatively simple as I just had to move around the timer code I used for Signal Jam. The CSS was moved to my global CSS file and I copied over and adjusted the HTML and JS. While I was at it, I made a few more polishes, such as adding a custom designed scroll bar . Next Steps: I am going to ship the project today. I already have my README drafted, I just need to make a few edits. I am not done with this project. I’m going to wait and see what feedback I get, but some plans I have for the future are making a globalized JavaScript file, adding a custom word/prompt bank feature to most games, adding more prompts to each game, adding more party games that can be played on one screen and adding a filter and sort system to the homepage. Thanks for reading!

What did you make? Pass n’ Play is a website that serves as a party game hub for all ages in which a group can play 4 unique social deduction games by passing a single device around the table. The site is inspired by a neo-brutalist design, caters towards mobile devices, and is meant to look more like an app than a standard website. What are you proud of? I am most proud of the third game I made, Signal Jam. It has the most unique features out of all 4 games and really pushed me to finalize my aesthetic of my website. It was also the game I had most fun with when play-testing with my family. Furthermore it was not a game I had drafted in my prior failed attempt of this project so I had no codebase to fall back on. What was challenging? I was shocked by how long it took me to formulate a design style for the website that consistently looks well formatted and neat. Creating this neo-brutalist inspired style was much harder than expected and I feel as though a few pages could still use some improvement. Feedback on the design and game flow of the website would be greatly appreciated by reviewers. Another thing that took most of my brainpower was figuring out the JavaScript. Unlike my CSS, it had no globalized file. Reviewers, if you are reading this, please let me know if there are better programming languages, libraries or software that are more appropriate for making a project like this. I would love to further improve my programming skills and spend less time correcting mistakes due to my inefficiencies. What should people know so you can test your project? This is a purely frontend website, so just click the “Try Project” button to explore the site. I would recommend trying to playtest a game with nearby friends or relatives if possible. If you want a quick overview of my development process, just read the initial section and bolded text of the longer devlogs. They kinda serve as a TL;DR of the project’s progress....

Making the login look better.
I made the text in the background liek more to my liking and i would love to have soem feedback on what you guys think about it. The images also have my current budgets tab and the create budgets popup. I also made it so that when the budgets are still loading there is like a loading animation the gray boxes also like pulse.
Started on the expenses tab. Made it so that when you click on one of the budgets you get set to the expenses tab for that budget.
Started to make the create expenses thing does not work right now. making it work is the next step.
I made the create expense thing work. I also made them diplay in a table at the bottom. I found that after creating an expense, the text remained in the input boxes. To fix this, I cleared the input field state values after the expense was successfully added to the database. By add setName(“”); setAmount(“”); when with the toast. The date part is nto working right now but that is want i am going to do next.
Made the logo
Testing and improvement. I did some test on the budget and expense creation and found out that I had not really made it that full from like you were able to enter negative number and stuff. I also did some testing on how i was going host the website.
I added edit and delete buttons to delete or edit budgets. I also made it so you can press enter in the input sections to make it so that if every thing is right it will add the budget or expense. I also make it so that you can only add numbers and not letter and the number has to be above 0.
Bid some testing. Started to make the dashboard page.
I started to do the learn more section. and make some improvements to the landing page and other part of the website.
Did more of the budget tab and learn more. In the budgets tab I made the animation for the graph and looks of the graph a lot better. I also did some Boundary testing for the graph. I also went through and made sure that everything was smaller screen compatible/ easily usable. Love to hear your thoughts.
Finished the dashboard page on the website. I decided to make it display the Total Budgets, Total Spent, No. of Budgets, Activity, Budgets, and Expenses. If you have any suggestions I would love to hear them.
I also came across the bug that if you had no budgets created the skeleton loader would still show. This happen because the code was just checking if there was more then 0 budget or not. I changed it to stop after the website had connected with the data base.
I found out that if you changed the number and the end of the link when you were in one of the budget’s expenses tab you can access other peoples’ data and edit it. This is a big privacy breach and makes my website not very secure so I fixed it.
I did some testing to make sure everything was nice and worked well on different screen sizes. I also hosted it on vercel. I also made some over all improvement to the layout of the code. I also made my own logo in illustrator
Fixed some different device size display bugs.

For context, on Crunchyroll dubbed shows, there are two types of subtitles (for the most part, AD subs also exist but are very uncommon), closed caption and on screen translation subtitles: closed caption captures only character dialogues (generally), whereas the on screen translation subs translate signs and such on screen, typically using ASS subtitles (so fancy typesetting texts). - As it so turned out, you can’t pick both subtitles at the same time, which makes it really annoying for me to hear what the dialogues are saying if there are a lot of sound effects and BGM. So, I decided to look into how I can render both types of subtitles. - After a long course of development, and many hurdles (mostly related to Crunchyroll’s internal API being very not external developer friendly, I wonder why…), I was able to ship this little extension, which currently has about 200 or so active users? - -TLDR: Crunchyroll default subtitle system sucks so I made it better.

And some that causes the extension to not load. All that good stuff. - The biggest update, however, is that the extension, using a very, very sneaky method, now loads additional subtitles for dubbed episodes. Typically, the majority of subtitles are made for the original audio language (Japanese mostly), and they are usually drag-and-drop ready for other audio languages. The idea is nothing new, but I had to brainstorm a new way of achieving that. - Essentially, the extension “mimics” the Crunchyroll player by making a stream request to the original audio language, and capturing the subtitles.

Once it does, it populates the popup with those notes. The “1 new notes” thing isn’t actively updated yet, so I’ll implement that next. Just need to keep track of opened notes using their slug. Only took 4 hrs 🫠
Nice… negative notes. The users’ll absolutely adore this.
Working on the prerequisite parts of implementing a subtitle masking feature (hide subtitle base on defined areas). Also released 0.11.0 of the extension. Out on chrome already but firefox will probably be another month :sigh:
Forgot to post devlogs ngl… Anyways, I fixed a bunch of weird bugs and compatibility issues with other extensions and userscripts. And then, I spent a few hours restyling the scoped options menu. Look at it moveee- Anyways, the moving part is made with a see through ::after element that is moved using the CSS transform: translateX element. I am able to move it programmatically by changing a CSS property/variable that translateX reads from. And then, I slapped a fancy transition on there. Works like a charm! (I had considered doing slide effect on the actual options, but that seemed like too much work haha.)
Ok, it’s been a minute, so let me go over the changes. (also i finally figured out you need to shift + enter to do new line bruh) Firstly, in preparation for the subtitle masking feature, I changed the extension popup to be a side bar/panel instead. This way, you can keep it open while you interact with the page. Secondly, I swapped the old “Reset subtitle position” button (which didn’t even work LMAO) with the new “Edit subtitle configuration” button. When you click it, a new section expands. This is where my other project (move-it) plays in! (see video). When you add a mask, it will block out subtitles using the CSS clip-path property, which is pretty neat! I also fixed a bunch of random issues along the way, so yay!
Fixed a bunnnnnch of issues as an aftermath of the last devlog… Took a minute but I finally released 0.12.0 (and immediately realized there’s more bugs. Also cleaned up the README and made it look real fancy.
Worked on a bunch of stuff, mostly random issues: extension broken on Opera, extension randomly not updating subtitles, features of extension randomly bricking if you do a specific set of stuff (like adding and deleting masks really fast). - Other than that, I added a new subtitle style editor. I thought it was gonna be a 30min quick change. And then it ended up being like 4 hours long. The font selector is so damn annoying to add because there’s really only one way to do it, and that’s through Google. And of course it’s going to be a pain in the rear when it’s Google. - Whatever, at least it looks good.
Been a minute. - Let’s see what I worked on… Mostly fixing minor issues. LIke subtitles being unmovable. And after that fixed it teleporting to Narnia when being moved. While I was doing that, I actually finished the subtitle editor in last devlog that I actually didn’t finish. - Aside from the UI, there’s also numerous minor bugs that sometimes causes the side bar to malfunction. And some that causes the extension to not load. All that good stuff. - The biggest update, however, is that the extension, using a very, very sneaky method, now loads additional subtitles for dubbed episodes. Typically, the majority of subtitles are made for the original audio language (Japanese mostly), and they are usually drag-and-drop ready for other audio languages. The idea is nothing new, but I had to brainstorm a new way of achieving that. - Essentially, the extension “mimics” the Crunchyroll player by making a stream request to the original audio language, and capturing the subtitles. All before the actual player starts its own stream request. This way, we don’t trigger the concurrent stream limit. Pretty neat! - Also added a on/off switch because you never know when this might break. Peak CSS right here haha.
Yoo - Kind of forgot to post this one. Basically, I just made it so the subtitles loaded from the original audio are marked as [original] , you can pick either or. - That’s about it. Yay
NEW FEATURE ALERT - Due to popular requests (one person on Github who opened an issue), I have added a spanking new feature to move subtitles up and down. LIFE CHANGING, I know. - Rahaha, more stuff incoming. Also the more I work on tis the more I realize my code sucks.
Ships:
Alright, it’s been a pretty long ride, so let me try to sum this up. - The idea for this extension sprang forth when I was trying to watch Frieren. For context, on Crunchyroll dubbed shows, there are two types of subtitles (for the most part, AD subs also exist but are very uncommon), closed caption and on screen translation subtitles: closed caption captures only character dialogues (generally), whereas the on screen translation subs translate signs and such on screen, typically using ASS subtitles (so fancy typesetting texts). - As it so turned out, you can’t pick both subtitles at the same time, which makes it really annoying for me to hear what the dialogues are saying if there are a lot of sound effects and BGM. So, I decided to look into how I can render both types of subtitles. - After a long course of development, and many hurdles (mostly related to Crunchyroll’s internal API being very not external developer friendly, I wonder why…), I was able to ship this little extension, which currently has about 200 or so active users? - -TLDR: Crunchyroll default subtitle system sucks so I made it better. Also if you don’t have Crunchyroll just watch this slightly outdated demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6fvmeJ0SoM...

Your goal is to get a total of score of 400 points to win. You can get all of your points in the platformer or in the snake minigame. There are no limitations. I had a lot of fun time coding, designing and learning Godot for this project. This is my first attempt to develop a game and I find it pretty good for a first try. Although I faced some challenges, I managed to solve nearly all of them. I also learned how to debug code while doing this project. I am very proud of how it turned up. And I hope you have a great time playing it. If you want to try the game, click the “Try project ->” button. When you click it, you will be sent to my itch.io site and you will be able to play the game! To people testing my game. I want to let you know that the platformer minigame has a way smaller hitbox compared to the player sprite. This makes it a ton more doable.

So I started doing something that I never ever tried once. Sound design. Although I play the drums for like 3 - 4 years I never tried doing anything related to sound and music in a computer before. And I am pretty damn bad at it rn. I made 2 kind of sound / music. SFX (Sound Effects) and theme musics. Sound Effects I used a program called “Chiptone”. It is a program specifically designed for indie sound effects. It has a lot of tools to make SFX. I liked it a LOT. Anyways, I made some effects for: game consoles, when you lose, when you get to a certain height in platformer, when you die in dino run, when you eat an apple in snake, when a Tetris block lands, when a Tetris column is finished and when you win. These actually turned up pretty good. I am proud of them. Themes This is the part where I couldn’t do achieve what I wanted. I used LMMS -short for Linux Multi Media Studio- for the first time. It is very complicated and very powerful for a first-timer. I made 5 different ones. 1) Main Theme It turned up ~meh It is used for the title, settings and the main arcade scene. 2) Platformer Theme This was my first attempt. I went a little slow paced on this one. It turned up a bit better than most others and I am ok with it. I would give 7.5/10 for a first try. 3) Snake Theme This is absolutely horibble. I am disgusted to be the creator of this monstrosity. It might be because I didn’t really had any idea to what to do. I would give 2/10. I recommend turning of sound just for this. I want to change it but I don’t know if I have time left for that. 4) Tetris Theme As you all know a song for Tetris alreay exists and it is one of the best game songs of all time. It is addicting. I of course, used that theme song and added a little bit pizzazz to it. As I said I played the drums for a long while and one of the things I always wanted to do is to add a drums to Tetris theme song. I added a few drums and it turned up BEAUTIFUL. 10/10 for me. 5) Dino Run Theme This turned up … okay? It is not that bad but it is definitley not good. I am okay to keep it in but I might change it too. 4/10 These nearly took me 8 hours and I still didn’t add the settings screen to control the music levels. I will do that as the next thing.

I finished (nearly) my fourth game, Dino Run ! It is my version of the game that you play when you don’t have internet in Chrome, Google Dino Run. I probably should stop explaining what these games are cause EVERYBODY, literally EVERYBODY knows what these games are. Fot the last time: Dino Run is a game that you are a dinosour -most of the time but it can change.- and you run. Obstacles and birds spawn while you run. You must jump when the obstacles get near, and ducck when the birds get near. Also you run faster and faster as the time goes on. Controls You can jump with SPACE and you can duck with SHIFT or CTRL . When you jump a timer starts, and you can’t jump until the timer timeouts. I said that I “NEARLY” finished the game. The unfinished part is actually a quiet important part. It is the losing mechanic. It is actually very easy to add but I didn’t want to get my hours wasted because of me not devlogging. I will finish that part until the next devlog and I might forget to mention adding that. You can think it as done for now. These are it for this devlog. I will probably add some sounds and some small updates to the existing games. And at the end of that If I have time left, I will ad more games. Thanks for being here. Kendinize iyi bakın!

Since my last devlog I made my third minigame, Tetris ! I again don’t think that I have to explain what tetris is. LITTERALLY everybody knows it. But for those who lives under a rock: In the game “Tetris”, some blocks fall from the sky and you put them like a puzzle. There are a total of 7 different shaped called “tetrominoes”. They are randomly given to you so it is more complicated and more enjoyable. There is a grid that you are filling with these tetrominoes. When you fill a row with these tetrominoes they disappear and the ones on top of them fall down. Once you complete a row you also get 10 points. There are also some standart futures that every Tetris ccopy has. They are: When you hold “S” the tetrominoes fall faster, when you click “R” the tetrominoes rotate and there is a panel that shows you what piece is going to fall next. The way you lose is when you get nowhere left to place a tetrominoe. When you lose you can try again or quit to the arcade.

Snake Minigame I don’t really want to explain what snake game is cause I don’t know a single person that is 10 - 20 years old and doesn’t know what snake game is. For Those Who Don’t Know: Snake is a game where you try to eat food (apples in my minigame) until you become too big. The main game mechanic is like this: You eat, you get longer and once you are too big to fit in the grid you win. I made the grid 20x20 so it would be big and a bit challenging. But to win the actual game you dont have to get all of the 400 cells in the grid. Also the texture of the apple changes and it has a easter egg. I have to say, It is not a very “suprising” easter egg. :) A Thing I Have To Do Before Shipping I have to add an ending and I also have to make the starting screen and the options page.

I SOLVED THE BUG!! I also completed few other things. I will mention them later. Platformer Minigame Sooo this minigame is probably already known by everybody. But for those who don’t know it is like this: The main objective is to jump to the higher platforms. Your score increases higher you go. The catch is, there are 3 types of platforms. Normal Platform Breaking Platform Frozen Platform These work like this: Normal Platform: It works as you expect it to. It is a normal platform that doesn’t have a catch. You can wait until the end of time to think and plan your next move. Breaking Platform: This type of platform has a time limit how much you can wait on it. When you step on it for the first time a timer starts and when that timer finishes the platform breaks and you fall. It has 3 different sprites that you can see if you try. You can understand when it is about to break by looking at it. Frozen Platform: Lastly this type of platform is slippery. Just like ice. When you are on this platforms it is harder to build up momentum and wait in place. You generally want to be more cautious around this platform. But you also can use the slippery surface to your advantage in certain situations. At the very beginning the normal platforms spawn a lot more. But as you progress further breaking and frozen platforms starts to spawn a lot more. Having different types of platforms make the game harder and more enjoyable. The UI of the game These are a non-negotionable part of any game. When you enter to the minigame you see some red UI elemnts on the left side. They currently show 3 different things. Your current score, your highest score and your y level. The End (Death) Screen When you fall and die, this screen opens. It has 3 different elements in it. A highscore counter and 2 buttons. One of these buttons are to “Try Again” and the other one is “Quit Game”. You can click to whichever you want. THE MAIN GOAL OF THE GAME I don’t remember if I ever mentioned what is the main goal of the main game (Not the minigames). It is actually pretty simple. The goal is to earn a set amount of score from all of the minigames. I didn’t established an amount right now. That will probably be one of my last things to worry about. I also added some small features like the screen of the arcade console light up when you play the game."}, {"post_id": 65043, "ts": "2026-09-09T21:26:15Z", "hours": 11.4339, "text": "Devlog #004.5 - PLATFORMER UPDATES AND A PROBLEM Hi guys!

Platformer Minigame Since the last devlog I coded the platformer minigame. I actually attempted to code it 3 times. These were how my attempts went like: It didn’t even work. The platform positioning was very bad. Most of the time it led to getting stuck. Best overall.The player can still get stuck, but it is way lower than to other attempts. I will use this for the minigame. Maybe I can play with the code little bit. I wanted to delete the platforms underneath to get rid of the unnecessary FPS loss. So I coded that. On top of that I made the ‘death_zone’, the zone you fall into when you fall from one of the platforms and lose, move when the player goes up. This makes the fall take much shorter and make the game way faster to replay. Platforms types for the minigame Before I start knoe that I currently use Godot’s own sprites for the platform but I will change that in the very near future. If you ever played something like Doodle Jump, you must know that there aren’t only 1 type of platform. There are like 3 types of it most of the time. Normal, breaking and 1 that makes you jump. I already made the normal platform. And I plan to make a few more to make it more interesting and to make it on the same tracks as the other minigames that are this. I want to make platforms with these features: 1. A platform that breakes. 2. A platform that it freezed and makes the player slide on it 3. A platform that makes the player jump higher. I will try to implement these until the next devlog. Other than that I have to make the assets for the minigame, I have to code the point system and some other little things. I probably am going to make devlog about this minigame again, after that I am going to start th e other minigames. Hope you had a good time reading this. İyi Günler!

I worked on my first tileset and my first interactive objects. Tilesets As I said, this was my first tileset. I wanted my game to be seen from a 40~45 degree angle. I wanted it to be look like a bit 3D although it is clearly 2D. I tried to do my best and I think it turned out pretty great. You can find the tileset in the end of this devlog. Arcade Consoles I first tried to make the sprites of these arcade consoles as a tileset to store it as one file. It turned out not so great. I rather use Godots Sprite2D node rather than using the TileMapLayer node. That way tweaking each sprite is a bit easier. But I can still change my mind cause I have an idea that I’ll be working on few days later. I first designed these sprites as a -I am not sure how to say it- directly front view. I already said that I wanted my art to be at a ~45 degree angle. So adjust the looks of the sprites. That made it a bit better but I am not really satisfied with them yet. I will probably redesign them. Interactions When I first started this project I didn’t had any ideas on how to make an interactable object in Godot. After watching some videos on youtube and a lot of trial and errors I manage to make an interactions system that works really good. The interactions is this: When you get close to any of the arcade consoles there is a text shown “[E] TO PLAY”, when you click “E” there will be a split second of the black screen on the console lighting up and shownig a screen accordingly to the game you are going to play after that split second you get sent into a new scene where the minigame will be. I didn’t yet coded nor drew the required thing for the screen lighting up but I will make them later. I think that these kinds of small things will be an important aspect of the gameplay feel. These are all of the things I have done until today. After these done I will start on making the first 2 minigames and finishing the menus. Hope you had a good time reading this, Görüşmek üzere!

DEVLOG #001 - New Project Hi everybody!! I was working on other hardware projects for a few weeks and I couldn’t seperate my time for stardance.

(I’m not really sure if it’s called that) Also I know that this post is very bad written and scrambled but that my bad. I will try to get it to be better :) Here is some photos of what I did:
DEVLOG #002 - CHARACTER DESIGN I designed my first character !! I made the walking animation and the code for walking + sprinting. A thing I want this game to have is changeable skins. (e.g., different hair types, different shirt colors, different types of caps and more…) This made the code a lot more complicated. I also need to draw the sprites for all of these. I probably won’t make these feature until I ship this project for the WarioWare 1 mission. Minigame Ideas As you probably know this is a WarioWare game. Basically that means that there are a lot of minigames in it. And I wanted to make a list of the minigames I want to make to keep it as a note and show to you.

Thanks for reading :) Görüşürüz! See ya later!
DEVLOG #003 - TILESETS, ARCADE CONSOLES & INTERACTIONS Hi everyone! Hope y’all alright. I worked on my first tileset and my first interactive objects. Tilesets As I said, this was my first tileset. I wanted my game to be seen from a 40~45 degree angle. I wanted it to be look like a bit 3D although it is clearly 2D. I tried to do my best and I think it turned out pretty great. You can find the tileset in the end of this devlog. Arcade Consoles I first tried to make the sprites of these arcade consoles as a tileset to store it as one file. It turned out not so great. I rather use Godots Sprite2D node rather than using the TileMapLayer node. That way tweaking each sprite is a bit easier. But I can still change my mind cause I have an idea that I’ll be working on few days later. I first designed these sprites as a -I am not sure how to say it- directly front view. I already said that I wanted my art to be at a ~45 degree angle. So adjust the looks of the sprites. That made it a bit better but I am not really satisfied with them yet. I will probably redesign them. Interactions When I first started this project I didn’t had any ideas on how to make an interactable object in Godot. After watching some videos on youtube and a lot of trial and errors I manage to make an interactions system that works really good. The interactions is this: When you get close to any of the arcade consoles there is a text shown “[E] TO PLAY”, when you click “E” there will be a split second of the black screen on the console lighting up and shownig a screen accordingly to the game you are going to play after that split second you get sent into a new scene where the minigame will be. I didn’t yet coded nor drew the required thing for the screen lighting up but I will make them later. I think that these kinds of small things will be an important aspect of the gameplay feel. These are all of the things I have done until today. After these done I will start on making the first 2 minigames and finishing the menus. Hope you had a good time reading this, Görüşmek üzere! See ya later!
DEVLOG #004 - PLATFORMER MINIGAME MECHANICS Good day everyobdy! Platformer Minigame Since the last devlog I coded the platformer minigame. I actually attempted to code it 3 times. These were how my attempts went like: It didn’t even work. The platform positioning was very bad. Most of the time it led to getting stuck. Best overall.The player can still get stuck, but it is way lower than to other attempts. I will use this for the minigame. Maybe I can play with the code little bit. I wanted to delete the platforms underneath to get rid of the unnecessary FPS loss. So I coded that. On top of that I made the ‘death_zone’, the zone you fall into when you fall from one of the platforms and lose, move when the player goes up. This makes the fall take much shorter and make the game way faster to replay. Platforms types for the minigame Before I start knoe that I currently use Godot’s own sprites for the platform but I will change that in the very near future. If you ever played something like Doodle Jump, you must know that there aren’t only 1 type of platform. There are like 3 types of it most of the time. Normal, breaking and 1 that makes you jump. I already made the normal platform. And I plan to make a few more to make it more interesting and to make it on the same tracks as the other minigames that are this. I want to make platforms with these features: 1. A platform that breakes. 2. A platform that it freezed and makes the player slide on it 3. A platform that makes the player jump higher. I will try to implement these until the next devlog. Other than that I have to make the assets for the minigame, I have to code the point system and some other little things. I probably am going to make devlog about this minigame again, after that I am going to start th e other minigames. Hope you had a good time reading this. İyi Günler! Bye!
Devlog #004.5 - PLATFORMER UPDATES AND A PROBLEM Hi guys! Hope y’all are alright. Cause I have a big proble to solve. Platformer Minigame It is NEARLY done. It is actually 99.99 percent done. But because of a bug that I couldn’t figure out how to solve. I will explain how the minigame works when I am 100 percent done. I hopefully manage it out in a few hours. As for now I am making this devlog for logging my times to stardance. I’ll devlog when I manage to solve the bug! Cya!
DEVLOG #005 - PLATFORMER MINIGAME DONE! Hey guys! I SOLVED THE BUG!! I also completed few other things. I will mention them later. Platformer Minigame Sooo this minigame is probably already known by everybody. But for those who don’t know it is like this: The main objective is to jump to the higher platforms. Your score increases higher you go. The catch is, there are 3 types of platforms. Normal Platform Breaking Platform Frozen Platform These work like this: Normal Platform: It works as you expect it to. It is a normal platform that doesn’t have a catch. You can wait until the end of time to think and plan your next move. Breaking Platform: This type of platform has a time limit how much you can wait on it. When you step on it for the first time a timer starts and when that timer finishes the platform breaks and you fall. It has 3 different sprites that you can see if you try. You can understand when it is about to break by looking at it. Frozen Platform: Lastly this type of platform is slippery. Just like ice. When you are on this platforms it is harder to build up momentum and wait in place. You generally want to be more cautious around this platform. But you also can use the slippery surface to your advantage in certain situations. At the very beginning the normal platforms spawn a lot more. But as you progress further breaking and frozen platforms starts to spawn a lot more. Having different types of platforms make the game harder and more enjoyable. The UI of the game These are a non-negotionable part of any game. When you enter to the minigame you see some red UI elemnts on the left side. They currently show 3 different things. Your current score, your highest score and your y level. The End (Death) Screen When you fall and die, this screen opens. It has 3 different elements in it. A highscore counter and 2 buttons. One of these buttons are to “Try Again” and the other one is “Quit Game”. You can click to whichever you want. THE MAIN GOAL OF THE GAME I don’t remember if I ever mentioned what is the main goal of the main game (Not the minigames). It is actually pretty simple. The goal is to earn a set amount of score from all of the minigames. I didn’t established an amount right now. That will probably be one of my last things to worry about. I also added some small features like the screen of the arcade console light up when you play the game.
DEVLOG #006 - SNAKE MINIGAME DONE! Good Evening Everybody! My second minigame, snake, is DONE! Snake Minigame I don’t really want to explain what snake game is cause I don’t know a single person that is 10 - 20 years old and doesn’t know what snake game is. For Those Who Don’t Know: Snake is a game where you try to eat food (apples in my minigame) until you become too big. The main game mechanic is like this: You eat, you get longer and once you are too big to fit in the grid you win. I made the grid 20x20 so it would be big and a bit challenging. But to win the actual game you dont have to get all of the 400 cells in the grid. Also the texture of the apple changes and it has a easter egg. I have to say, It is not a very “suprising” easter egg. :) A Thing I Have To Do Before Shipping I have to add an ending and I also have to make the starting screen and the options page. Thank you a lot for reading this. Görüşmek üzere! See you later!
DEVLOG #007 - LAST DEVLOG FROM THE FIRST SHIP! Good Evening Guyss!! I am ready to ship my project for the first warioware mission! Changes Added the winning screen, score system and most of the UIs. I also finished the timelapse that I was recording for a few days. And that Is included in the time spent for this devlog. Things I Want To Say I suspect that the I spent for this project will get deducted for unreasonable amount of time for a project. I want to say that I tried to do as much of the code as I can without getting it directly from the youtube tutorials and as a first time game dev that was reallly time consuming. I just wanted you to know that I tried my best to not to make any inflated time. That was all. :) If you are still here, thanks for reading. Hope the ship goes well! :D Görüşmek üzere! See you later!!
DEVLOG #008 - TETRIS GAME DONE! Good Evening y’all! I was away for a few days making a project in thirdspace . Anyways I am working for this project at the side too. And this game was finished few days ago but I couldn’t find the time to post a devlog about it. Here it goes now! Since my last devlog I made my third minigame, Tetris ! I again don’t think that I have to explain what tetris is. LITTERALLY everybody knows it. But for those who lives under a rock: In the game “Tetris”, some blocks fall from the sky and you put them like a puzzle. There are a total of 7 different shaped called “tetrominoes”. They are randomly given to you so it is more complicated and more enjoyable. There is a grid that you are filling with these tetrominoes. When you fill a row with these tetrominoes they disappear and the ones on top of them fall down. Once you complete a row you also get 10 points. There are also some standart futures that every Tetris ccopy has. They are: When you hold “S” the tetrominoes fall faster, when you click “R” the tetrominoes rotate and there is a panel that shows you what piece is going to fall next. The way you lose is when you get nowhere left to place a tetrominoe. When you lose you can try again or quit to the arcade. Things I Will Add In The Future I plan to add some dificult setting in the future for snake and maybe to the other ones. I also plan to make at least 2 more minigames for my arcade. Thank you for reading this devlog! Görüşmek Üzere! See ya later!
DEVLOG #009 - Dino Run Done! (Nearly…) Hope you had a good day. I finished (nearly) my fourth game, Dino Run ! It is my version of the game that you play when you don’t have internet in Chrome, Google Dino Run. I probably should stop explaining what these games are cause EVERYBODY, literally EVERYBODY knows what these games are. Fot the last time: Dino Run is a game that you are a dinosour -most of the time but it can change.- and you run. Obstacles and birds spawn while you run. You must jump when the obstacles get near, and ducck when the birds get near. Also you run faster and faster as the time goes on. Controls You can jump with SPACE and you can duck with SHIFT or CTRL . When you jump a timer starts, and you can’t jump until the timer timeouts. I said that I “NEARLY” finished the game. The unfinished part is actually a quiet important part. It is the losing mechanic. It is actually very easy to add but I didn’t want to get my hours wasted because of me not devlogging. I will finish that part until the next devlog and I might forget to mention adding that. You can think it as done for now. These are it for this devlog. I will probably add some sounds and some small updates to the existing games. And at the end of that If I have time left, I will ad more games. Thanks for being here. Kendinize iyi bakın! Cya!
DEVLOG #010 - SOUNDS Double digit devlogs!! So I started doing something that I never ever tried once. Sound design. Although I play the drums for like 3 - 4 years I never tried doing anything related to sound and music in a computer before. And I am pretty damn bad at it rn. I made 2 kind of sound / music. SFX (Sound Effects) and theme musics. Sound Effects I used a program called “Chiptone”. It is a program specifically designed for indie sound effects. It has a lot of tools to make SFX. I liked it a LOT. Anyways, I made some effects for: game consoles, when you lose, when you get to a certain height in platformer, when you die in dino run, when you eat an apple in snake, when a Tetris block lands, when a Tetris column is finished and when you win. These actually turned up pretty good. I am proud of them. Themes This is the part where I couldn’t do achieve what I wanted. I used LMMS -short for Linux Multi Media Studio- for the first time. It is very complicated and very powerful for a first-timer. I made 5 different ones. 1) Main Theme It turned up ~meh It is used for the title, settings and the main arcade scene. 2) Platformer Theme This was my first attempt. I went a little slow paced on this one. It turned up a bit better than most others and I am ok with it. I would give 7.5/10 for a first try. 3) Snake Theme This is absolutely horibble. I am disgusted to be the creator of this monstrosity. It might be because I didn’t really had any idea to what to do. I would give 2/10. I recommend turning of sound just for this. I want to change it but I don’t know if I have time left for that. 4) Tetris Theme As you all know a song for Tetris alreay exists and it is one of the best game songs of all time. It is addicting. I of course, used that theme song and added a little bit pizzazz to it. As I said I played the drums for a long while and one of the things I always wanted to do is to add a drums to Tetris theme song. I added a few drums and it turned up BEAUTIFUL. 10/10 for me. 5) Dino Run Theme This turned up … okay? It is not that bad but it is definitley not good. I am okay to keep it in but I might change it too. 4/10 These nearly took me 8 hours and I still didn’t add the settings screen to control the music levels. I will do that as the next thing. Thanks for reading this! İyi Akşamlar! Byes!
Ships:
“Too Much Time In The Arcade” is a WarioWare-style game that is set in an arcade, as you might guess. It has currently two minigames. These minigames are a platformer and a snake minigame. All of these minigames have their own respective arcade consoles that you can interact with. Your goal is to get a total of score of 400 points to win. You can get all of your points in the platformer or in the snake minigame. There are no limitations. I had a lot of fun time coding, designing and learning Godot for this project. This is my first attempt to develop a game and I find it pretty good for a first try. Although I faced some challenges, I managed to solve nearly all of them. I also learned how to debug code while doing this project. I am very proud of how it turned up. And I hope you have a great time playing it. If you want to try the game, click the “Try project ->” button. When you click it, you will be sent to my itch.io site and you will be able to play the game! To people testing my game. I want to let you know that the platformer minigame has a way smaller hitbox compared to the player sprite. This makes it a ton more doable. Thank you for all of your support I hope you have a FANTASTIC time playing my game!! Kendinize iyi bakın! Bye! Note: “Kendinize iyi bakın!” is “Take care of yourselves!” in my native language, Turkish :)...

I created a digital catalogue for my library, where students could search if the book they want is available in the library and if its issued or not at the moment. Adding the search and filter function was new to me, and was fun to create....

One Problem was that it got so bright, that lighter texutres like sand looked basically white. So i went in the composite.fsh and multiplied the lighting by 0.85 so it will get darker and compensates the Exposure (image included before and after): final.fsh: float exposure = 1.3;color.rgb *= exposure; composite.fsh: vec3 finalColor = albedo.rgb * lighting * 0.85; Third Change: I added a fog near the render distance.

Before: float wave = sin(p.x * 1.20 + frameTimeCounter * 2.50) * 0.01; Now: float wave = sin(p.x * 1.20 + frameTimeCounter * 2.50) * 0.05; Like seen in the last Devlogs, the shadow never really looked nice. Before i used like manual 5 samplig grid to soften the shadows which is okay for performance but it looks weird. In the new version i completely threw that out. Instead I decided to move over to PCF Percentage Closer FIltering (was claudes idea). It makes the shadow look soft and way smoother. vec3 pcf(vec4 clip) { ivec2 s = ivec2(texcoord * vec2(viewWidth, viewHeight)) % 64; float a = texelFetch(noisetex, s, 0).r * 6.2831853; mat2 r = mat2(cos(a), -sin(a), sin(a), cos(a)); vec3 sum = vec3(0.0); float n = 0.0; for (int x = -PCF_RANGE; x <= PCF_RANGE; x++) { for (int y = -PCF_RANGE; y <= PCF_RANGE; y++) { vec4 p = clip + vec4(r * (vec2(x, y) * (PCF_RADIUS / 8092.0)), -0.002, 0.0); p.xyz = warpShadowClipPos(p.xyz); p.xyz = p.xyz / p.w * 0.5 + 0.5; if (all(greaterThanEqual(p.xy, vec2(0.0))) && all(lessThanEqual(p.xy, vec2(1.0)))) { sum += sh(p.xyz); n += 1.0; } } } return n > 0.0 ? sum / n : vec3(1.0); } While rewriting the composite I had multiple transparent bugs (seen in the pictures below). Basically my palyer hand and mobs were see through. The mob bug was pretty easy fix. gbuffers_entities.vsh wasnt actually passing down normal vectors to the fragment shader. (This was also found by gemini not me) For the Hand fix, i ran into a problem becuase it was the fault of composite.fsh. I was doing some weird depth buffer checks that basically told the shader to ignore the hand and draw the world behind it. (And again this was found by gemini) In the composite shader, I had this depth check to filter out water and sky: if (d0 != d2) { color = albedo; return; } By using if (d0 == 1.0 || d0 < d1 || d0 != d2) the shader now correctly renders it. The Problem was becase how Miencraft renders the hand. The hand renders into depthtex2 but it usually doesnt render into depthtex0. Because the hand depth in d2 was different freom the sky block depthh in d0 it triggered and the composite shader skipped drawing the hand. ( I hope I understood it right). Then came the 2.5 hour problem 😩: Random blocky shadows appeated on water (seen in pictures). Because the problem didnt occured before and because I just reworked the composite i tried everything. I changed things back to old. asked AI nothing helped. In the end it was because gbuffers_water.vsh was calcuilating the shadow coordiantes without applying the shadow map distorion. It was trying to read warped shadow map using undistoreted coordinates. nce I added the #include “libs/distort.glsl” it worked… (again found by gemini, i troubleshooted ALOT with it).

Devlogs:
devlog 1 um made: hero and nav and like idk a stack? with my linkedin and GitHub screenshot attached below also the buttons are pretty cool. overall I love how this is starting I also started designing the rest of the site.
devlog #2 added about section, also made the hero responsive on all screens, writing the about me took so long I didn’t know what to say but I think its alr. Also added tooltips when you hover over the words to make it easy for non tech pepole to understand and it just looks cooler!
okay now I added the featured project section with 3 cards yes the (non capital I is intentional it looks so much worse when its capitalized) also added a nice contact me CTA at the bottom! next up ill need to make a favicon (probably ill jst put myself) optimize for SEO for opengraph to appear cool on social media some optimizations and a 404 page!
added: 404 page and started polish translations
some polish translations added icons of the brands the links will take you in the project cards to make them more lively + made the contact section more responsive and updated the figma design to keep it up to date with my new ideas I directly implemented into code! oh I also added Home in nav since it looks better with more items :> Also I added my photo to be hosted on the website itself not gotten from linkedin since the temp url expired already. glad it did before it went live!
I worked on polish translations but not only repos a lot changed some subtle things like the nav reading the # better etc. um also added back the Home to the nav. The polish translation is like 70% completed I think im gonna be done with it today and mabe even the entire site!
opengraph\n-spelling mistakes\n+ GitHub repo I STILL CANT MAKE AN ENTER HERE AAAA someone fix this please
removed ai generated image and replaced it with an svg generated from it via pot race it looks better now tbh since the colors got sharper because I hardcoded the color, also the no “ai art” thing I never claimed the image was any sort of art im just not placing 1000 dots in Figma. The image is how the site looks after I think its even better because the dots got bigger so it looks more “fun” and not perfectly calculated.

I then started to code again I started with string extras this allows you to truly modify and change strings. I then add a crypto extension which allows you to generate a uuid or hash or even encode and decode bas64 and so on. those were the easy parts then it came to me that I should make a cool feature so I decided to build func[auto] well make it usefull and bring trigger to life too. and with this I sadly announce that func[onetime] is no more.

So I ran to find anything to keep on working and found a working keyboard and mouse and after finding one I went back to work. I hade a easy time implementing the system integration that allows you to check you OS and everything related. and After that I wondered what would be cool and fun to have… well I wanted pain so I decide let me add Http Extension.

After days of fighting procrastination and boredom. I failed. and then when I opened up my old project I failed to feel any fun. this made my concerned for I deeply love my projects. so I scrambled my brain and I realized the project was too easy and too simple it wasn’t challenging. It didn’t make me want to pull my hair out. This made me think what if I created my very own… language. I felt very challenged and so I researched and decided to use rust for my lang. And I chose rust because before I tried learning it and instead failed. So this made me feel highly motivated. I went to do what any sane human would do in my position. I went to code. Yep code without any knowledge. so that was another fail. and after deep research on rust I decided to actually learn it but use AI to boost time and I learned the basics of rust within 2 hours and after a few hundred lines of code I realized I should run it. Yep… It showed error after error after error my little kingdom crumbled to dust like the inside of my wallet. I cried myself to sleep that night and the next morning I woke up and ready to fight my laptop. and I went to my laptop and deleted the folder and created a new one and started coding and testing and after 10hrs of grueling work and an additional 7hrs researching I bring to you the very start of connect. My first rust based language.
After heavy testing of the summon command I came to the conclusion that I failed it. So I thought how could I make local variables stay local and not be global? so I decided to add VarAccess an identifier resolution. I then tested again just to see it fail AGAIN. SO I I thought okay why is it failing so went ahead and added in debug prints in the rust code to see what was happening and I found it parent_locals was getting popped but local_vars never got restored so summon wasn’t working because there was nothing it could summon. and before summon I added in maps and recursion but that was a very smooth workflow.
after testing my language heavily I came to realize my language needs an error handling system so I thought on how id implement it and after researching on what it does I added attempt, recue, and always. attempt will try running a chunk or line of code. rescue catches the error without stopping the script and shows a message. And finally always will run a block or line of code no matter what. At first try the attempt was working cuz well it just runs the could but because return wasn’t working the code showed a error in terminal after everything. so, I pondered and pondered when I finally cam e to the conclusion to change all error messages for everything to be compatible with attempt and after that it worked. P.S(CoreAi in the MyApp folder is my personal AI I will integrate into my lang, but that’s a very later feature and beta feature.)
Well my project just LEVELED UP. this level up was actually super clean and didn’t make me ball my eyes out at how I should’ve stuck to my old project. It was quite pleasant. this update allows my lang to store data in a separate file and format… json. Yep connect can now read and understand json format. It can conver data into json strings through json.stringify and can turn json strings into data.
After spending about an hour I have successfully added in date/time integration. It was very simple.
For the past few devlogs it seems as if my journey was finally smoothing out. well… it was the calm before the storm. because right after I thought nothing go bad ALL WENT BAD. My laptop Crashed Yes it Crashed and then my keyboard and trackpad failed. I thought only I failed but my things fail too. So I ran to find anything to keep on working and found a working keyboard and mouse and after finding one I went back to work. I hade a easy time implementing the system integration that allows you to check you OS and everything related. and After that I wondered what would be cool and fun to have… well I wanted pain so I decide let me add Http Extension. Yes my lang can now after a painful journey of trial and error can download retrieve and interact with URL’s. I don’t even want to say what happened but either way I will go on and relive that pain to “paint a picture”. Basically I came back after my laptops tantrum to lock in and build Http but my laptop failed me. So I fixed it and I started building halfway through after build a solid structure I tested and saw that Http was existing but it wasn’t being useful. so, I thought and went in to add the stronger features, but before I knew it the addons I integrated weren’t compatible and failed miserably after talking to a few AI’s(Actual intelligence’s not artificial) to get some insight they all called me stupid and told me to stop. SO i realized I’m not just stupid I’m stupid stupid and - -=+ and that’s fine by me. SO I locked in ad went through the rust ref book and dived into my code head first and fought my way in and added in all my features. I then went ahead and tested it and it worked.
My laptop has failed me… I’ve been busy for the past few days with family and friends and decided to lock in again but after 2 hours of coding my laptop sputtered to a stop at first I thought it froze but then the screen went black and it stopped I couldn’t do anything after an hour of good waiting I pressed the power button and it started up again. this time I deleted all background processes this helped I later cleaned the system up even more than I usually do then I came to conclusion that it had to be related to hardware and not software so I downloaded a cpu temp reader and once I had setup what I was working with I saw my cpu reached a temp of 100+ and it then climbed to 113 and my laptops screen went black again. this time I made sure to keep system super lean and delete anything that I can use later and am not in dire need of. I then started to code again I started with string extras this allows you to truly modify and change strings. I then add a crypto extension which allows you to generate a uuid or hash or even encode and decode bas64 and so on. those were the easy parts then it came to me that I should make a cool feature so I decided to build func[auto] well make it usefull and bring trigger to life too. and with this I sadly announce that func[onetime] is no more. And I am happy to announce that Connect-Lang is extremly close to v0.2.
I have successfully added async and protect it may have taken me 4 hrs but it was worth it! Connect v0.2 is out. well do to copyright issues im naming it Valence and v0.2 Memory Rush update is out! you can go to my github release and download the .exe’s and use it. but I need to document it and actually clarify syntax, but it works! sorry I’m in a rush so this devlog wasn’t as informative!
IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME! and ofc i wasn’t Idle! I COOKED SO HARD THAT well… Valence(connect) now actually connects. YEP it connected to python first then I locked in and added C C++ (both these are a pain to work with on windows maybe a skill issue idk) then I integrated C# WAY EASIER cuz ofc it is builtin to windows and then Java, Rust ofc and zig (it was mainly for the compilation of C and C++ and yea) and now it officially can connect after testing it runs all the files in 13.261 ms and on the warmed up loop it ran in about 2.189 ms.
Well If you lock in you can do anything… So I took it personally and decide Valence needs to level TF up. And well trust me when I say It will not disappoint! Valence before could only connect to the languages I hardcoded. That 💩 is NOT UNIVERSAL! So I decided why make it my job to link up all langs? So, I decided to give the job to the dev, BUT to be clear from my end I made it simple as HELL! and well, you now can connect to any language!
I made it so you can code in any language not just the ones I hardcoded!
I am sick and have been working like a madman on the cor morph feature! idk what more to say stay tuned!
I HATE MY LIFE!!!! why you ask? cuz guess what? cor morph failed me! its gone dead! And guess what I find out the my vbp register got deleted when I restructured my code! and now I decided to rip cor morph out and delete it! so now I have fixed vbp.register! and yep im still sick every joint hurts but the grind doesn’t stop till i literally stop! oh and I do not think my laptop is doing too good! it burning itself its a pyromaniac!!!!
Ships:
I made Valence! A language that connects any language! the issues… don’t even get me started! I first off hade very little understanding of rust(knew a bit of the basics well enough to start). My laptop crashed like 5 times while coding and took long time to compile heavy updates! I added a command and another command broke! I sat in front of the computer for hours and now my back hurts! I got scrutinized by people who that I should be doing better things! BUT I didn’t quit cuz after all its all for the love of the game! Finally I am still updating, my laptop still heats and melts, but I LOVE IT! And below is Valence running java and python!...

here is the second ship of my first personal website.

[{"ship_num": 1, "ts": "2026-0 [{"ship_num": 1, "ts": "2026-09-10T07:29:34Z", "hours": 7.0, "multiplier": 9.63, "payout": 65, "blessing": "neutral", "text": "What it this? This is a Minecraft mod for neoforge 1.21.1. It revolves around the idea of untroducing a brand new way to invite new players while retaining peace. How? Every new player now needs to be sponsored by someone else on the server. If you (for example) decide to invite a new player to the server, you will now hold responsibility for any trouble the new player causes. This helps people think twice before inviting anyone on the server, as it just not might be worth the trouble. Invites This is the core of the mod. Each player gets a limited amount of invites/sponsorships (more on them below), which also makes invites pretty valuable. That is the whole idea of this system. Quite simple, ain’t it? Any players can invite another with the use of /invite * player * Sponsorships Every player can sponsor any other player on the server. This works just about the same as invites; if the player you sponsor breaks the rules, you will suffer the consequences as well. Sponsorships exist for only one reason - to help build a community on the server; people that trust each other. Un-inviting/unsponsoring If you ever get into an argument with the player you sponsor, or invited, you can stop sponsoring them using /uninvite , or /unsponsor . The moment you stop sponsoring them you are freed from the consequences of their actions. If a player loses all of their sponsors they will be in a bit of trouble; they now have 30 mins to find a new sponsor, otherwise they are un-whitelisted and lose access to the server until re-invited by someone. Admin featues The first player that joins the server does not need to be invited, as it is expected to be the admin. That first player also becomes the “root” of the invite tree. Every single player that ever joins needs to be connected to the root player in some way. They do not need to be invited by the root player directly; it can be a player that was invited by the root player, but there still needs to be some way on the tree they will remain connected to the root player. To view who invited who, who is sponsoring who, or who is sponsored by who, you, as an admin can use the /invitetree * player_X * , which will reveal all of this info. All players that will pop-up can be clicked, which will allow you to easily click through the invite tree. Non-admin players get a variant of this command too, the /mysponsors command.

What it this? This is a Minecraft mod for neoforge 1.21.1. It revolves around the idea of untroducing a brand new way to invite new players while retaining peace. How? Every new player now needs to be sponsored by someone else on the server. If you (for example) decide to invite a new player to the server, you will now hold responsibility for any trouble the new player causes. This helps people think twice before inviting anyone on the server, as it just not might be worth the trouble. Invites This is the core of the mod. Each player gets a limited amount of invites/sponsorships (more on them below), which also makes invites pretty valuable. That is the whole idea of this system. Quite simple, ain’t it? Any players can invite another with the use of /invite * player * Sponsorships Every player can sponsor any other player on the server. This works just about the same as invites; if the player you sponsor breaks the rules, you will suffer the consequences as well. Sponsorships exist for only one reason - to help build a community on the server; people that trust each other. Un-inviting/unsponsoring If you ever get into an argument with the player you sponsor, or invited, you can stop sponsoring them using /uninvite , or /unsponsor . The moment you stop sponsoring them you are freed from the consequences of their actions. If a player loses all of their sponsors they will be in a bit of trouble; they now have 30 mins to find a new sponsor, otherwise they are un-whitelisted and lose access to the server until re-invited by someone. Admin featues The first player that joins the server does not need to be invited, as it is expected to be the admin. That first player also becomes the “root” of the invite tree. Every single player that ever joins needs to be connected to the root player in some way. They do not need to be invited by the root player directly; it can be a player that was invited by the root player, but there still needs to be some way on the tree they will remain connected to the root player. To view who invited who, who is sponsoring who, or who is sponsored by who, you, as an admin can use the /invitetree * player_X * , which will reveal all of this info. All players that will pop-up can be clicked, which will allow you to easily click through the invite tree. Non-admin players get a variant of this command too, the /mysponsors command. It works kinda similar, just only shows the player that used the command and cannot click through the invite tree. Testing/showcasing To make your life just a little bit easier, I have prepared a showcase video you can watch by clicking the try project, as testing this out would require a server and (atleast) two players. You can still very well do so, I am not against it at all, go ahead here , I made the release specifically just for these purposes.

Started practicing with a simple linear regression with 3 points!
I added a hidden neuron and used backpropagation to set the weights
Added 2 more hidden neurons, set up lists to manage their related variables and set up backpropagation for each.

liqlaqo-os web-based operating system building with html , css and javascript
Today I made the date and time fully functional in the bottom bar. I am going to build other things too. If you want to know more, don’t forget to like and follow.
I have worked in my welcome window, taskbar, and calculator app(it’s not functional yet)
I have finished working on the first app in my web-based operating system(Liqlaqo-os). As you can see, it is a fully functional calculator. I also polished the style to make it look attractive, and I’m going to build another app for my operating system. If you wanna see more, don’t forget to like and follow. Thanks for reading. GOOD LUCK!
I have worked on my mini Notebook window that actually worked well, but some functionality is still missing. I will try to make it fully functional next time. thank you
Today, I worked on the weather app. It’s fully functional and works only when you’re online. I added an icon for it too, and for now I only added 6 cities. Tomorrow I will add a search bar so everyone can see their city’s weather.
Today, I added a search bar to the weather page so that everyone can see their own city’s weather conditions. Finally, I edited some visual effects and enhanced some color combinations, and I also worked on the welcome screen. As you can see this are all the pages I have been working on
I deployed it. It is now online
Worked on settings functionality. I added wallpaper and made it changeable. Today I added 3 wallpapers. I also made the notebook savable and added settings to clear, load, and save data. Tomorrow I will work on more functionality.
I worked on a notebook file system; now you can save, load, and update what you’ve written, and it has its own password too. created a setting that lets you remove what you don’t want by setting passwords
I started working on my music app. I will add cool features to it later
I finally finished working on the music window. It was hard for me, but I learned so many things through the process
I get rid of repetitive lines by using one function to handle all of them at once
i finally deleted weather app because it starts to lag. i also solved a bug with music app. finally wrote my readme.
I updated the settings with 4 new cool features. You can easily change the font family, app color, font color, and font size.
Ships:
I worked on a web-based operating system. The challenging part was the weather app. I tried so many times before it worked. I am proud of myself because when I started, I didn’t even know how to set up a project through Git, but now I’m confident working with GitHub and git commands
i make web based operating system using html, css and javascript. i have learned so much from it. when i started i couldn’t even use git and github but right now i can handle version control in terminal. there is so many thing that i am pround of, but i remeber saying how is that even possible to make operating system that works online but now i can even teach others how to program complex problems like i did in my notebook functionality and how to style their of user interface as i did in all windows and how to use localstorage to save load and delete their data like i did in settings. but i wanna mention the music app because i put a lot of effort at that app. i made that app in way that if you change the music it will automatically change the background that makes it more interactive and gives satisfaction. if you get lost don’t forget to read my readme. Thank you!...

Hello, world! So far i have created infrastructure that allows me to easily add and manage commands for the bot
I have rewritten the bot to use Discord’s built in interactions, which enables it to send messages visible to the command issuer TODO: database 🥲
Slowly but steadily, i’m setting up the database
After a little shenanigans, i finally got autocomplete hints to pull data from the database
Database code now allows for creating and joining groups, honoring users with admin permissions I also created a dedicated error code system, instead of relying on try-catch to get all my info
Currently working on deleting and managing call groups
Most of the bot is now fully working! This includes: Creating, joining, leaving and deleting groups Calling groups Checking user eligibility to call said groups based on group policies TODO: Invites to private groups
Group invites are now being handled properly! This turned out not as hard as i thought it’d be, only requiring one top-level handler function, that could be arranged similarly to the other two i had for commands and autocomplete TODO: settatr for groups
The bot is slowly nearing completion! I’ve finished implementing rest of the commands, such as setting group parameters, added better arg parsing, etc.. All that’s left now is to polish the code, add final touches and deploy it
The bot is nearly complete! Transferring group ownership or deleting it now brings up a dialog
With some final touches, the bot is deployed to heroku and ready to ship!

Working on Game UI, and its functional and works now, also made sprites
Finished both minigames and now I’ll be working on the final ending scene as in a custom win/loss
Finished an ending/lose scene, and finished all minigames, I’m probably just going to start working on more minigames now.
I finished tweaking all the bugs, and my game is ready to ship with my two current minigames.
Worked on a functional pause screen that goes back to menu or can resume game, took a while since I wasnt able to figure out why I couldn’t do some of the functions to hide the pause panel within one function, but if it works, it works.
I finished my fourth minigame and final, a launcher minigame, where the player has to hold down click or space while aiming the cannon, in order to hit the target and win. I also completed third minigame too, the balancing one (I forgot to devlog it, oops). It’s a seesaw minigame, and basically weights fall and how have to balance the seesaw by selecting different weights and dropping them.

I am currently on a mission to make my website https://hustlenix.github.io/The-Rime-Of-The-Ancient-Mariner/ more fun, interactive, and non boring website both in mobile and desktop. So tely’ll be more interested in studying and learning. through my website.
As we begin the new academic session, this is the perfect time to build a strong foundation from day one! If you want to stay ahead and practice smarter, The Rime Of the Ancient Mariner Question Bank is your best companion 📖
